Michael Palin may be best known as a member of Monty Python, but I’m fond of his travel documentaries produced with the BBC. Before I started my trip I watched his series entitled Himalaya where he traverses the cultures in Pakistan, India, China, Bhutan, and Bangladesh that reside in this greatest of mountain chains.

I’ve recently stated reading the book published of his journey and am quite taken aback at the similarity to my previous 7 months of travel. For example, his Pakistan travels mirrors my own greatly with stops along the Karakoram Highway, Hunza Valley, and polo matches in Gilgit. (With all do respect, though, I have done mine without the BBC treasury and have come overland from Japan.)

If you’re interested in further detail about the places I have visited, by all means put this in your Netflix queue or get it for your Kindle. You can also find the book, DVD, and of course torrent file. You won’t regret it.

In the last episode, Steve and I return to Kathmandu and reflect on the trip. I hope you’ve enjoyed the series and I had a blast making it. While it is hard to edit your own footage, I intentionally cuts a bit longer as my intended audience was those with a strong interest in Nepal and/or traveling. In the near future I will cut a sleeker version on DVD with faster pacing (if you interested in a copy, e-mail me).
